Usage of ODT Frames

Two new syntax tags to support frames have been added (frame-open and frame-close) in release 2016-04-23. Together with CSS they can be used to specify a layout for the exported ODT document.

There might be several use cases for it but e.g. you can use it to specify the layout for writing a letter. The following example code sections show a CSS template page content and an example letter page content.

If you export it, then the resulting document will have the destination address at the right position for german A4 letter envelopes and two markers showing where the sheet should be folded.

If you play around with frames it might be useful to see a border to check the positioning of a frame. To have a border just set a border color in the CSS properties of the frame, e.g. border-color: black;. Also see the out commented code in example template page.

The browser layout of a wiki page is not affected by the ODT frames syntax tags.
